A prisoner at Sacramento County jail died Thursday morning after his cellmate noticed him in distress.

The 43-year-old inmate was booked into jail on Wednesday on domestic violence charges, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.

At 5 a.m. Thursday, a deputy was told by a prisoner that his cellmate was in medical distress. When the deputy checked, he found that the cellmate was unresponsive.

Jail medical staff and deputies rendered medical aid before firefighter-paramedics arrived. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
